Their primary role has not been to educate or to make the student aware,but to "school"children into accepting and supporting the Establishment.This process has been called Americanization.At the very core of Americanization is the compelling necessity for Anglo-Americans to remake the unassimilable masses so they can be more acceptable.This is accomplished by erasing their culture,language, and values.It is a process that has caused considerable cultural conflict for the gente and that has resulted in the following:many people developing negative self-images;many people accepting the values of the colonizers and rejecting their own heritage;Anglo-Americans justifying the colonization by glorifying the history of the colonizer and erasing that of the colonized;and the gente being conditioned to accept their colonized status,limiting their aspirations.......MANY COCONUTS HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ACCOMMODATE TO THE ANGLO MAJORITY,ONLY TO BE REJECTED.THE PRICE OF ACCEPTANCE IS THE SURRENDER OF TRUE IDENTITY.
